37 Things About Holly

001. I was born on September 12 1987, in Invercargill, New Zealand.
002. My middle name is Margaret
003. My starsign is Virgo...and I suit it pretty well.
004. I don't really have any nicknames.
005. I'm only 5'6" tall.
006. I have two holes in each ear, I got the first set when I was 15, and the second set when I was 16.
007. I really want a purple, curly haired version of this tattoo.
008. I don't care how good looking a guy is, if he can't hold a conversation then I'm not interested.
009. I have extremely long, extremely curly hair, which I absolutely hated up until a year or two ago, when I discovered it was a definate advantage for me as an actor, and I've let it grow so long I can almost sit on it!
010. I am seriously terrified of geese, magpies and other really big birds.
011. I can't stand Snoopy's Christmas
012. The legal driving age in NZ is 15, I'm 18 and still haven't got my learners'.
013. I'd rather listen to the soundtrack from a musical (i.e Wicked) than pop/rock/hip hop.
014. Lots of people have told me I'm a weird combination, a fairly shy person, who's also an actor!?
015. When I was younger I used to collect garden gnomes.
016. I am extremely amused by mooses and anything to do with Canada. I have no idea why.
017. I am irrationally petrified of geese.
018. Because of the time difference between New Zealand and America, my 14th birthday was the same day as 9/11. :'-(
019. If I lived in America (and had kids), I'd put my kids in pageants.
020. I'm an only child, and I don't remember ever wishing for a sibling when I was little.
021. I'm also adopted!
022. My parents' names are Jennifer and Paul.
023. My favourite colour is purple.
024. I love white and dark chocolate, but not dairy milk.
025. I am a huge fan of Kate Winslet (type "Kate Winslet, 'What If'")
026. My favourite pair of shoes only cost $40NZ.
027. I'm legally allowed to drink in NZ, but I don't.
028. I don't eat cereal. I agree with Willy Wonka, cereal is secretly made from pencil shavings!
029. My bedroom walls are light green with white trim.
030. I love playing practical jokes on people, and the best one I've ever done was with a pen that gives you an electric shock when you click it! I did it to my English teacher a couple of years ago and she's never quite forgiven me! You can buy the pens pretty cheaply on eBay or TradeMe.
031. My parents used to live in Johanesburg.
032. I had lessons in EVERYTHING when I was little, ballet, music, singing, piano, violin, swimming, drama. The only thing that's stuck is drama. I started when I was 11 and I'm still going 7 years later!
033. If I had to describe myself in three words, they'd be intelligent (modest, lol!), reserved and emotional (not as in "emo" though! Argh! Spare us from the emo-ness!)
034. I don't like wearing shoes, I have bare feet as often as I can get away with.
035. Most of the time the glass is half full.
036. If I were another person I'd probably be friends with me, or maybe I'd find me annoying. I don't know.
037. One of the best quotes I've ever read is "I'm not as think as you drunk I am!"
